The short answer: Yes, but there are exceptions.
For many years now countries around the world have enacted laws and regulations that allow parties to a contract to formalize their legal agreements using electronic signatures. DocuGen Sign allows you to sign contracts with electronic signatures that are valid legally; however, there are important considerations and exceptions that apply to DocuGen Sign and any other electronic signature app:
- Certain types of agreements and documents are exempt from electronic signature laws and cannot be legally formed by electronic signatures. For example, under German law, electronic signatures are not allowed when signing rental or mortgage contracts. It is your responsibility to determine whether any particular contract can be legally formed by electronic signatures.
- DocuGen Sign ascertains the signer's identity in reliance on the email address you provide. We do not (and cannot) guarantee that the signer email address is indeed the correct email address for the intended signer.
- Once a document is signed, a bad actor may be able to tamper with the document by removing, adding, or changing the contents of the document, including signatures. We do not (and cannot) guarantee that documents are not tampered with after they are signed.
